VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM RISK ASSESSMENT DATA SET OVERVIEW
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

This data set is out of date therefore the information should not be used.
For further information, see the NHS Improvement website at: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment.

The purpose of the Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment Data Set is to quantify the number of adult PATIENTS (aged 18 and over) admitted to hospital, who are risk assessed for Venous Thromboembolism using the Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment Tool to allow appropriate preventative treatment based on guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

Collection and submission of the Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment Data Set

All providers of NHS funded acute hospital care (including foundation trusts and Independent Providers of acute NHS services) must complete this data collection.

Data on Venous Thromboembolism risk assessments is uploaded onto Unify2 each month no later than 20 working days after the month end. Revisions to the data set before the cut off date are allowed however, revisions made after the cut off date must be made in liaison with the Department of Health.

AGE ON ADMISSION
Change to Data Element: Changed Description

Format/Length:n3
National Codes: 
Default Codes:999 - Not known i.e. date of birth not known and age cannot be estimated

Notes:
AGE ON ADMISSION is derived as the number of completed years between the PERSON BIRTH DATE of the PATIENT and the START DATE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL)AGE ON ADMISSION is derived as the number of completed years between the PERSON BIRTH DATE of the PATIENT and the START DATE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL).

AGE ON ADMISSION is used by the Secondary Uses Service to derive the Healthcare Resource Group 4. Failure to correctly populate this data element is likely to result in an incorrect Healthcare Resource Group, usually associated with lower levels of healthcare resource.
